Gigabit Ethernet Cameras

Basler Vision Technologies AG has introduced the Gigabit Ethernet ace series cameras. The four CCD camera models are in monochrome and color, with resolutions from VGA to 2 megapixels. All have a footprint measuring 29 × 29 × 48 mm. Users can choose between a Power-over-Ethernet version with the camera power and data on a single cable, or one where power is supplied through a separate Hirose input/output connector. The cameras transmit >100 MB of data per second and have up to 100-m cable lengths and a proprietary pylon driver package with filter and performance drivers. Maximum frame rate is 20/, 30/ or 100/s, depending upon the model. All have a C-mount lens and a Sony sensor.
